It's also a lot like an announcement of any other tool of great importance: a new programming language, a new rocket engine, a new alloy, a new psychological principle - or any other discovery of import. It's profoundly interesting to watch, understand, and organize those discoveries (as news) - precisely so the more pragmatic downstream affects can be achieved.
Those who can put those various discoveries together are those that will be the ones that use those tools in conjunction in order to benefit everyone. But how are they to know about them if the discoveries themselves 'are not news'?
